Rate My Professor Kate Bryant

Bryant's research focuses on Australian mammal conservation, including endangered species such as the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) and woylie (Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi), optimizing camera trap methodologies for detection and individual identification, and assessing pet cat (Felis catus) predation on wildlife. Notable publications include "Community attitudes and practices of urban residents regarding predation by pet cats on wildlife: an international comparison" (2016), "Factors determining the home ranges of pet cats: A meta-analysis" (2016), "Assessing the effectiveness of the Birdsbesafe anti-predation collar cover in reducing predation on wildlife by pet cats in Western Australia" (2015), "Spot the difference: optimising camera trap use to detect and identify individuals of a medium-sized carnivorous marsupial" (2024), and early contributions such as "Opportunistic breeding in the polyandrous honey possum, Tarsipes rostratus" (2000). She serves as Associate Editor for Pacific Conservation Biology, with keywords encompassing mammals, marsupials, conservation, population biology, and evolution. Bryant has supervised doctoral and honours theses on topics including genetic and morphological variation in small mammals, habitat preferences, survey methods for population estimates, and metapopulation dynamics of quendas. Her publications have accumulated nearly 500 citations.
